Hey guys, me and a few buddies are planning a fishing trip up there in the summer and I was just wondering how the bass fishing is on these lakes. Looking for mainly largemouth bass. Thanks for any info and sorry its not a fishing post!!

It is always navigable between lakes even when the water down... As posted 3 post below, they will start their annual drawdown around Oct. 1st. Hope to be fishing it some this week, if I do, I'll let ya know...

Water levels were above normal this past week and with the additional rain should remain high. The big cold front midweek slowed things down a bit and forced a change in tactics but fish were biting on red tails and crawlers presented slow and deeper than at the beginning of the week. Smallmouth action was constant even when not being targeted. I was advised on several occasions to keep them rather than catch and release to help abate their numbers and help walleye reproduction. Most fishing was centered on Island Lake.
